Trying to restore my database - Provisioning is restricted in this region. Please choose a different region.

Question

Context:

I was trying to do a fast restore of my MySQL flexible azure database

When i try to restore:

"The resource write operation failed to complete successfully, because it reached terminal provisioning state 'Failed'. Click here for details"

When I check the status:

{
    "status": "Failed",
    "error": {
        "code": "ProvisioningDisabled",
        "message": "Provisioning is restricted in this region. Please choose a different region. For exceptions to this rule please open a support request with Issue type of 'Service and subscription limits'."
    }
}

When I try to click the resource:

"The extension encountered an unexpected error and provided no additional details."

Hi @ Joseph Lim

Thank you for reaching out.

It looks like you’re encountering a region restriction issue when trying to restore your MySQL flexible server.

Enable region

Your subscription might not have access to create a server in the selected region. To resolve this issue, file a support request to access a region.

If you see the following errors, file a support ticket to enable the specific region:

• Subscription 'Subscription name' is not allowed to provision in 'region name
• Subscriptions are restricted from provisioning in this region. Please choose a different region. For exceptions to this rule please open a support request with the Issue type of 'Service and subscription limits.
